My parents stayed in this house while my family and my brothers family were in the house on the river. We had a golf cart to get from place to place for convenience. It was great.
There's nothing I would change. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, the boat dock is next door, and the beautiful pool was just down the road. My favorite view was from the screened porch overlooking the water. We made s'mores in the fire pit, and the little ones played in the side yard. We would definitely stay again.
We were a group of five girl friends who came for a mom getaway and we had the most perfect visit. The property is just as described, only better. We are basically ready to retire and move in. Thank you!!!
